This is caused by a weakness in the pelvic floor, muscles and the fibromuscular connective tissue that supports and surrounds the vagina, rectum, bladder and uterus. The pelvic floor’s job is to hold these pelvic organs in place, but when it weakens the organs can fall out of their positions and stop functioning normally. When the fibromuscular connective tissue sheets that separate the vagina, bladder and rectum are damaged, vaginal hernias develop. https://www.cornellurology.com/clinical-conditions/female-urology-urogyne... 2/4/2015 Vaginal Prolapse/Pelvic Organvisited Prolapse |on Cornell 2/4/2015 Urology Page 3 of 7 Symptoms The most obvious symptom of vaginal prolapsed is a bulge protruding from the opening of the vagina. Additional symptoms of vaginal prolapsed are pelvic pressure, discomfort, feeling as if something is falling out, difficulty emptying the bladder, unwanted urine leakage, difficulty emptying the rectum, fecal incontinence and experiencing a sense of looseness or discomfort during sexual intercourse. Cause Even though more than 40% of all women experience some degree of prolapse in their lifetime, 14 million in the US alone, the exact cause is unknown. However, risk factors include pregnancy, vaginal delivery, hysterectomy, obesity, chronic cough, chronic constipation, repetitive heavy lifting, menopause and genetic connective tissue weakness. Diagnosis The presence and severity of vaginal prolapse is determined during a pelvic exam. During this exam, the anterior vaginal wall, posterior vaginal wall, top of the vagina and uterus are each evaluated for prolapse. After the exam, a stage from 0 to IV is assigned. A stage 0 prolapse means there are no prolapsed organs identifiable. A stage I prolapse means that the vaginal wall bulges down to 3 centimeters inside the opening of the vagina. A stage II prolapse means that the vaginal wall comes to or slightly through the opening. A stage III prolapse is when the vaginal wall protrudes several centimeters outside of the vagina. A stage IV prolapse is when the entire vaginal wall protrudes through the opening. Treatment Options Non-surgical Treatments Kegel exercises Kegel exercises strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. These exercises can help control stress urinary incontinence, urge urinary incontinence, overactive bladder, fecal incontinence and can help slow the progression of vaginal prolapse. Kegel exercises must be done correctly and regularly to work. With severe prolapse there is limited benefit seen. https://www.cornellurology.com/clinical-conditions/female-urology-urogyne... 2/4/2015 Vaginal Prolapse/Pelvic Organvisited Prolapse |on Cornell 2/4/2015 Urology Page 4 of 7 Pelvic floor therapy Pelvic floor therapy consists of a series of visits to a physical therapist with specialized training in the treatment of pelvic floor problems. The physical therapist uses a combination of the techniques listed below depending on the type of urogynecological condition present. With vaginal prolapse the goal of pelvic floor therapy is to strengthen the pelvic floor so as to provide support to the vagina and pelvic organs. Below are four treatment options available for pelvic floor therapy: Biofeedback: an intravaginal device used to train the pelvic floor muscles to contract or relax correctly Functional electrical stimulation: a device that can be used intravaginally or externally that delivers a gentle electrical current to activate or relax the nerves and muscles in the pelvis. Manual therapy – pressure applied to and released from muscles in spasm to relax them and increase blood flow to the area for healing. Often, women with prolapse subconsciously perform excessive pelvic floor contractions to the point of creating pelvic floor muscle spasms. This may create a painful condition called pelvic floor dysfunction, which in turn may lead to pelvic pain, painful sex and difficulties with urination and defecation. Joint and tissue mobilization: gentle manipulation to help calm the muscles and nerves of the pelvis Vaginal pessary: A vaginal pessary is a removable, diaphragm-like device worn in the vagina to support the bladder or other internal organs that are prolapsing within or through the vagina and/or decrease stress urinary incontinence. There are a variety of types and sizes of pessaries available. A pessary fitting includes two or more office visits to find a type and size of pessary that will work for you. Surgical Treatments Anterior colporrhaphy An anterior colporrhaphy repairs the wall between the vagina and the bladder. A pliable piece of material called a “graft” can be placed between the vagina and bladder to strengthen the repair. There are many types of grafts available. Posterior colporrhaphy A posterior colporrhaphy repairs the wall between the vagina and the rectum. As with the anterior colporrhaphy, graft material can be used to strengthen this type of repair. https://www.cornellurology.com/clinical-conditions/female-urology-urogyne... 2/4/2015 Vaginal Prolapse/Pelvic Organvisited Prolapse |on Cornell 2/4/2015 Urology Page 5 of 7 This procedure is performed vaginally. Dr. Tyagi generally uses the pelvic floor muscles adjacent from the rectum as the “graft” material. This reduces graft complications. Perineorrhaphy A perineorrhaphy is the surgical repair of a weakened perineum (the area between the vaginal opening and anus). This procedure is sometimes done at the same time as a posterior repair. Vaginal vault suspension/Uterine resuspension A vaginal vault suspension is the surgical repair of a vaginal vault prolapsed by attaching the top of the vagina to ligaments in the pelvis with permanent sutures or graft material. This procedure can be performed vaginally or abdominally. Hysterectomy A hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus. This is the surgery done to reduce future risk of gynecologic cancers. There is no documented benefit to prolapse repair by including a hysterectomy. A hysterectomy can be done through a vaginal or abdominal incision. Robotic Sacropopexy or Sacrohysteropexy In specific situations, the vaginal vault can be suspended to the back bone of the pelvis. Dr. Tyagi has done this procedure laparoscopically and robotically since 2005. A permanent graft is sutured to the vaginal walls and/or uterus and then permanently connected to the sacrum.

Vesicovaginal fistula is not an uncommon condition. It gives rise to multiple socio-psychological problems for women usually of younger age. It can be prevented by improving the level of education, health care and poverty. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment is required to help the patient. Preoperative assessment , treatment of co-morbid factors, proper surgical approach & technique ensures success of surgery. Postoperative care of the patient is equally important to avoid surgical failure. addition to the medical sequelae from these fistulas. It can be caused by injury to the urinary tract, which can occur accidentally during surgery to the pelvic area, such as a hysterectomy. It can also be caused by a tumor in the vesicovaginal area or by reduced blood supply due to tissue death (necrosis) caused by radiation therapy or prolonged labor during childbirth. Patients with vaginal fistulas usually present 1 to 3 weeks after a gynecologic surgery with complaints of continuous urinary incontinence, vaginal discharge, pain or an abnormal urinary stream. Obstetric fistula lies along a continuum of problems affecting women's reproductive health, starting with genital infections and finishing with Vesicovaginal fistula maternal mortality. It is the single most dramatic aftermath of neglected childbirth due to its disabling It is a condition that arises mostly from trauma sustained nature and dire social, physical and psychological during child birth or pelvic operations caused by the consequences.

  • Scrutinization and Management of Urological Complications Attributed to Obstetrics and Gynecological Surgery Pritesh Jain1, Sandeep Gupta2, Dilip K Pal3
    ORIGINAL ARTICLE Scrutinization and Management of Urological Complications Attributed to Obstetrics and Gynecological Surgery Pritesh Jain1, Sandeep Gupta2, Dilip K Pal3 ABSTRACT Aim: To review iatrogenic urological injuries due to obstetric and gynecological surgeries treated in the urology and gynecology department analyzing urinary tract anatomy, etiologic factors, diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes. Materials and methods: We reviewed all cases of urological injuries managed in our institution from January 2009 to December 2016 which were associated with obstetric and gynecological procedures. Results: Eighty-one patients were treated in the department during our study period. The most commonly injured organ was the bladder in 64.7% followed by ureter in 31.8%. Intraoperative diagnosis was made in 11.1% (9) cases, whereas 88.89% (72) cases were diagnosed postoperatively. Out of 81 cases, 66.7% (54) patients succumbed to urologic injuries as a result of gynecological procedures, while 33.3% (27) cases were due to obstetrical procedures. Vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) was the most common sequel followed by ureterovaginal fistula (UVF) in 42 (51.8%) and 15 (18.5%) cases, respectively. VVF combined with UVF and rectovaginal fistula were seen in 2 cases each. Although rare among various urogenital fistulas, vesicouterine fistula was encountered in three (3.7%) cases. All cases were managed with open or laparoscopic surgery with success in all but two patients. Conclusion: Complex gynecological procedures are gradually emerging as an important cause of urological injuries, second to obstetrical causes. Intraoperative detection and correction takes a vital part in determining structural integrity of the tissue and eliminating misery of the patient.

  • Endometriosis with Associated Adenomyosis: Consequences for Patients
    IJMS Vol 42, No 6, Supplement November 2017 Keynote Speakers Endometriosis Endometriosis with Associated Adenomyosis: Consequences for Patients C Chapron, P Santulli, L Marcellin, Abstract B Borghese. Endometriosis, histologically defined as functional endometrial glands and stroma developing outside of the uterine cavity, is a common gynecologic disorder. Pathogenesis of endometriosis is enigmatic and remains controversial, even if retrograde menstruation seems the most probable mechanism for the development of the disease. Concerning the endometriotic lesions clinical appearance, there are three phenotypes; peritoneal superficial endometriosis (SUP), ovarian endometriosis (OMA), and deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). Adenomyosis is also a common benign uterine pathology that is defined by the presence of islands of ectopic endometrial tissue within the myometrium, with adjacent smooth muscle hyperplasia. There are two types of adenomyosis depending on the extent of myometrial invasion; the diffuse adenomyosis (defined as the expansion of the junctional zone (JZ) along the length of the uterine cavity) and the focal adenomyosis (also called adenomyoma defined as localized circumscribed nodular aggregates of endometrial gland and stroma); sometimes Université Paris Descartes, Sorbone associated with each other.

  • Female Voiding Dysfunction and Urinary Incontinence
    Female Voiding Dysfunction and Urinary Incontinence Amanda Vo, MD, Stephanie J. Kielb, MD* KEYWORDS Overactive bladder (OAB) Urge urinary incontinence (UUI) Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) Vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) Ureterovaginal fistula (UVF) KEY POINTS Urinary continence relies on coordination of the autonomic and somatic nervous systems, in addition to normal lower urinary tract support and sphincter function. Overactive bladder may be treated in a stepwise fashion with behavioral therapies, phar- macologic management, and procedural options. Stress urinary incontinence is most effectively treated with minimally invasive surgical techniques that reinforce urethral support. Urogenital fistulas, although more common in developing countries than in the United States, are extremely distressful to patients and repair often requires larger reconstructive surgery. NORMAL URINARY CONTINENCE AND VOIDING The lower urinary tract (LUT) has 2 main functions, low-pressure storage of urine, then consciously controlled, coordinated emptying. This involves coordination of the auto- nomic and somatic nervous systems. Coordination occurs at the pontine micturition center and the cerebral cortex provides inhibition. Disease states affecting the cortex such as stroke or Parkinson’s disease can, therefore, cause of loss of inhibition, with urinary urgency, frequency, and at times urge incontinence. Neurologic disease below the pontine micturition center can cause a variety of LUT complications, including co- ordination issues which may put upper tract (renal) function at risk; the details of such conditions are complex and are not discussed further in this review.
